wifi situation is awful….not returning.
wifi doesn’t work
Miss hanging out here for the wifi! Great service and friendly staff here. The Don Quixote is my favorite! Thanks y’all!
Nice place for school work,work from home and meetings with tasty coffee
Excellent ambience, delicious coffee, dog friendly (well behaved) and they have lots of food options to choose from. I have enjoyed working from this coffee shop.
wifi did not work..! :(
The wifi is super slow
Lovely spot to get some work done. Very nice staff and creative craft drinks.
Bennu is classist and greedy. It’s ridiculous to make people purchase a drink to use wifi. Such a disappointment for the community.
I sat here to do work for a few hours and had such a great experience. Awesome coffee, good snacks, LOTS of outlets and seating, and pretty good wifi
It’s very much a “student study space”. Really quiet, tons of laptops out.
You can’t really sit inside and have a conversation, and there were people smoking outside. But might have just been unlucky.
Good place if you’re working on something and need a nice cafe with good wifi. They had a lot of seething and I was able to come here a couple times while I was in town, get really good internet and some great coffee while I got to work!
The crew is awesome. Coffee is customized to taste. Foods are great. All together the place is warm and welcoming. Great shop to do work away from office or home office.
Stressed vibe from the staff about giving out wifi codes. They asked that I buy TWO items in order to receive two codes for the internet; one for my laptop and one for my phone.
Also, the preachy straw dispenser 👀
Overall very nice ambience and location, but the energy of the place is anxious
You would think they subtract money from the baristas paycheck for handing out Wi-Fi codes at this place. If you plan to study and need Wi-Fi, this place is not it. The baristas are uptight about giving you the wifi code and it's honestly quite ridiculous. But, if you want to take your drink to go, I highly recommend. I love their drinks but unfortunately the baristas kill my vibe every time I need wifi. Which should be a GIVEN at a cafe.
Perfect place to study and get work done on late nights
Great place to work on your laptop. Plenty of comfortable seating. I appreciated that the food is clearly labelled vegan.
Sitting inside here at age 33 made me feel ancient. You look around and it's literally nothing but UT students with laptops in front of them but on their phones. There is a sign on the door encouraging masks regardless of vaccination status but nobody wore them -- but the people working there did, which is appreciated! I've seen a few complaints on here, the first about the music being too loud but I personally thought it was great. If not for the music it would have been as quiet as a tomb in there. Seriously. Nobody was in there to talk, legit all students on their laptops. The other complaint was about baristas but the two that I had were perfectly pleasant! Mocha was tasty, but I'm not a big coffee drinker so I might not be the best judge of this. I'm deducting a full star for the DECOR though. Bro, what is happening with this furniture??? It's like thrift store assorted. And not in the charming way of like a Spider House Cafe kind of way, more in a someone went to a Goodwill and said I'll take everything kind of way. Place looks like a common room at a community college which might be fitting considering the clientele. There was a nice little outdoor patio area lit by string lights that I imagine would be nice in warmer weather. Overall, yeah I'd go back, but it's a specific kind of vibe.
Great place to grab a coffee and get some work done! Fast wifi. Ideal for some quiet studying or working on your laptop. They also have an outside patio area. Got the lavender latte!
Quiet and chill vibe. Perfect to step away from the office and pick up work in a calm but inviting space
Nice coffee shop. Good place to do your work and study.
